¹Zvakaitika Jesu apedza mashoko iwayo ose, akati kuvadzidzi vake:

¹And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, he said to his disciples,

²Munoziva kuti mushure memazuva maviri ichava pasika, uye Mwanakomana wemunhu uchatengeswa kuti arovererwe pamuchinjikwa.

²`Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.`

³Ipapo kwakaungana vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevakuru vevanhu muruvanze rwomupristi mukuru wainzi Kayafasi.

³Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

⁴Vakarangana kuti vabate Jesu nemano, vagomuuraya.

⁴and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill [him],

⁵Asi vakati: Kwete pamutambo, kuti kurege kuva nebongozozo pakati pevanhu.

⁵and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.`

⁶Zvino Jesu wakati ari paBhetaniya mumba maSimoni wemaperembudzi,

⁶And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

⁷kwakasvika kwaari mukadzi nechinu chearibhasiteri* chechizoro chinokosha zvikuru, akadurura mumusoro wake agere pakudya.

⁷there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat).

⁸Asi vadzidzi vake vakati vachiona, vakatsamwa vachiti: Kutambisa uku ndokwei?

⁸And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased, saying, `To what purpose [is] this waste?

⁹Nekuti chizoro ichi chingadai chatengeswa nemari zhinji, ikapiwa varombo.

⁹for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.`

¹⁰Asi Jesu aziva wakati kwavari: Munotambudzirei mukadzi? Nekuti waita basa rakanaka kwandiri;

¹⁰And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me;

¹¹nekuti varombo munavo nguva dzose, asi ini hamuneni nguva dzose.

¹¹for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always;

¹²Nekuti pakundidira chizoro ichi pamuviri wangu, waitira kuvigwa kwangu.

¹²for she having put this ointment on my body — for my burial she did [it].

¹³Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Kose kunozoparidzirwa evhangeri iyi panyika yose, izviwo mukadzi zvaaita zvicharehwa, chive chirangaridzo chake.

¹³Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this [one] did shall also be spoken of — for a memorial of her.`

¹⁴Ipapo umwe wevanegumi nevaviri, wainzi Judhasi Isikariyoti, wakaenda kuvapristi vakuru,

¹⁴Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, said,

¹⁵akati: Munoda kundipei, ini ndigomukumikidza kwamuri? Vakatenderana naye pamasirivheri makumi matatu.

¹⁵`What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you?` and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings,

¹⁶Uye kubva panguva iyo akatsvaka mukana wakafanira wekumukumikidza kwavari.

¹⁶and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up.

¹⁷Nerekutanga rezvingwa zvisina mbiriso, vadzidzi vakauya kuna Jesu vachiti kwaari: Ndekupi kwamunoda kuti tigadzirire kuti mudye pasika?

¹⁷And on the first [day] of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, `Where wilt thou [that] we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?`

¹⁸Akati: Endai muguta kuna nyakuti, muti kwaari: Mudzidzisi unoti: Nguva yangu yava pedo; ndichaita pasika paimba yako nevadzidzi vangu.

¹⁸and he said, `Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;`

¹⁹Vadzidzi vakaita Jesu sezvaakaraira; vakagadzirira pasika.

¹⁹and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover.

²⁰Zvino ava madekwani akagara pakudya nevanegumi nevaviri.

²⁰And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve,

²¹Vakati vachidya akati: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Umwe wenyu uchanditengesa.

²¹and while they are eating, he said, `Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.`

²²Zvino vakashungurudzika zvikuru, vakatanga umwe neumwe wavo kuti kwaari: Ishe, zvirokwazvo handisi ini here?

²²And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, `Is it I, Sir?`

²³Ndokupindura akati: Unoseva ruoko neni mundiro ndiye uchanditengesa.

²³And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up;

²⁴Mwanakomana wemunhu unoenda hake sezvazvakanyorwa pamusoro pake; asi une nhamo munhu uyo Mwanakomana wemunhu waanotengeswa naye! Zvaiva nani kwaari kana munhu uyo aiva asina kuberekwa.

²⁴the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.`

²⁵Judhasi uyo wakamutengesa ndokupindura akati: Rabhi*, zvirokwazvo handisi ini here? Akati kwaari: Wataura iwe.

²⁵And Judas — he who delivered him up — answering said, `Is it I, Rabbi?` He saith to him, `Thou hast said.`

²⁶Zvino vakati vachidya, Jesu akatora chingwa akaropafadza, akamedura ndokupa vadzidzi akati: Torai, idyai, ichi ndicho muviri wangu.

²⁶And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;`

²⁷Akatora mukombe, akavonga, akapa kwavari, achiti: Imwai mose pauri.

²⁷and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it — all;

²⁸Nekuti iri iropa rangu, iro resungano itsva, rinoteurirwa vazhinji rekukangamwirwa kwezvivi.

²⁸for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out — to remission of sins;

²⁹Asi ndinoti kwamuri: Kubva zvino handichamwi zvechibereko ichi chemuzambiringa, kusvikira zuva iro randichazomwa naro nemwi chava chitsva muushe hwaBaba vangu.

²⁹and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.`

³⁰Zvino vakati vaimba rwiyo vakabuda vakaenda kugomo reMiorivhi.

³⁰And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives;

³¹Ipapo Jesu wakati kwavari: Imwi mose muchagumburwa nekuda kwangu usiku huno; nekuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ndicharova mufudzi, uye makwai eboka achaparadzirwa.

³¹then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad;

³²Asi shure kwekumutswa kwangu, ndichakutungamirirai Garirea.

³²but, after my having risen, I will go before you to Galilee.`

³³Asi Petro wakapindura akati kwaari: Kunyange vose vakagumburwa nekuda kwenyu, ini handingatongogumburwi.

³³And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.`

³⁴Jesu akati kwaari: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwauri: Muusiku huno, jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu.

³⁴Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.`

³⁵Petro akati kwaari: Kunyange zvakandifanira kufa nemwi, handingatongokurambiyi. Vadzidziwo vose vakadaro.

³⁵Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;` in like manner also said all the disciples.

³⁶Zvino Jesu wakasvika navo panzvimbo inonzi Getsemani, akati kuvadzidzi: Garai pano ini ndichamboenda ndinonyengetera uko.

³⁶Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.`

³⁷Akatora pamwe naye Petro nevanakomana vaviri vaZebhedhi, akatanga kushungurudzika nekutambudzika.

³⁷And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy;

³⁸Ipapo akati kwavari: Mweya wangu unoshungurudzika kwazvo kusvikira parufu; garai pano murinde neni.

³⁸then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul — unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.`

³⁹Akaenda mberi zvishoma, akawa nechiso chake, akanyengetera achiti: Baba vangu, kana zvichibvira, mukombe uyu ngaupfuure kwandiri. Asi kusava sezvandinoda ini asi imwi.

³⁹And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.`

⁴⁰Akauya kuvadzidzi, akavawana vavete, akati kuna Petro: Saka makoniwa kurinda neni awa rimwe here?

⁴⁰And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me!

⁴¹Rindai munyengetere, kuti musapinda mumuedzo; mweya unoda zvirokwazvo, asi nyama ine utera.

⁴¹watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.`

⁴²Akaendazve rwechipiri akanyengetera, achiti: Baba vangu, kana mukombe uyu usingagoni kupfuura kubva kwandiri, kunze kwekuti ndaumwa, kuda kwenyu ngakuitwe.

⁴²Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Thy will be done;`

⁴³Akauya, akavawana vavatazve, nekuti meso avo akange orema.

⁴³and having come, he findeth them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴Akavasiya, akaendazve akanyengetera rwechitatu, achitaura mashoko iwawo.

⁴⁴And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying the same word;

⁴⁵Ndokuuya kuvadzidzi vake ndokuti kwavari: Chirambai muvete muzorore; tarirai, nguva yaswedera, Mwanakomana wemunhu wotengeswa mumaoko evatadzi.

⁴⁵then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶Simukai, ngatiende, tarirai, wonditengesa wava pedo.

⁴⁶Rise, let us go; lo, he hath come nigh who is delivering me up.`

⁴⁷Zvino achataura, tarira, Judhasi umwe wevanegumi nevaviri wakasvika, chaunga chikuru chinaye chine minondo netsvimbo chichibva kuvapristi vakuru nevakuru vevanhu.

⁴⁷And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸Zvino iye wakamutengesa wakavapa chiratidzo achiti: Uyo wandichatsvoda, ndiye, mumubate.

⁴⁸And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, `Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;`

⁴⁹Uye pakarepo akasvika kuna Jesu, akati: Hekanhi, Rabhi*! Akamutsvoda.

⁴⁹and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, `Hail, Rabbi,` and kissed him;

⁵⁰Jesu akati kwaari: Shamwari, wavingei? Ipapo vakaswedera vakaisa maoko pana Jesu, vakamubata.

⁵⁰and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou present?` Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and took hold on him.

⁵¹Uye tarirai, umwe wevaiva naJesu akatambanudza ruoko, akavhomora munondo wake akatema muranda wemupristi mukuru, akagura nzeve yake.

⁵¹And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.

⁵²Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari: Dzosera munondo wako munzvimbo yawo, nekuti vose vanobata munondo vanoparara nemunondo.

⁵²Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;

⁵³Kana unofunga here kuti handigoni ikozvino kukumbira kuna Baba vangu, vakandigadzikira mapoka emauto evatumwa anopfuura makumi maviri?

⁵³dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁵⁴Ko magwaro angazadziswa sei kuti zvinofanira kuti zvidaro?

⁵⁴how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?`

⁵⁵Nenguva iyoyo Jesu wakati kuzvaunga: Mabuda semunovinga gororo neminondo netsvimbo kuzondibata here? Ndaigara nemwi mazuva ose ndichidzidzisa mutembere, asi hamuna kundibata.

⁵⁵In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold on me;

⁵⁶Asi izvi zvose zvaitika, kuti magwaro evaporofita azadziswe. Ipapo vadzidzi vose vakamusiya, vakatiza.

⁵⁶but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;` then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁵⁷Avo vakange vabata Jesu vakamuendesa kuna Kayafasi mupristi mukuru, apo pakange paungana vanyori nevakuru.

⁵⁷And those laying hold on Jesus led [him] away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

⁵⁸Asi Petro wakamutevera ari kure kusvikira paruvanze rwemupristi mukuru, akapinda mukati, akagara nevaranda kuzoona mugumo.

⁵⁸and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

⁵⁹Zvino vapristi vakuru nevakuru nedare remakurukota rose vakatsvaka uchapupu hwenhema hunopikisa Jesu kuti vamuuraye.

⁵⁹And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

⁶⁰Asi havana kuhuwana, kunyange zvapupu zvenhema zvizhinji zvakauya, zvikasahuwana. Pakupedzisira kwakasvika zvapupu zviviri,

⁶⁰and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near,

⁶¹zvikati: Uyu wakati: Ndinogona kuputsa tembere yaMwari, nekuivaka nemazuva matatu.

⁶¹said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.`

⁶²Zvino mupristi mukuru akasimuka akati kwaari: Haupinduri chinhu here? Ava vanopupurei zvinopikisana newe?

⁶²And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee?

⁶³Asi Jesu wakanyarara. Mupristi mukuru akapindura akati kwaari: Ndinokupikisa naMwari mupenyu kuti utiudze kana uri Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari.

⁶³and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ — the Son of God.`

⁶⁴Jesu akati kwaari: Wataura iwe; asi ndinoti kwamuri: Kubva zvino muchaona Mwanakomana wemunhu agere kuruoko rwerudyi rwesimba, achiuya pamusoro pemakore edenga.

⁶⁴Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.`

⁶⁵Ipapo mupristi mukuru akabvarura nguvo dzake achiti: Wanyomba; tichiri kudirei zvapupu? Tarirai, ikozvino manzwa kunyomba kwake.

⁶⁵Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, — `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

⁶⁶Munofungei? Vakapindura vakati: Une mhoswa yerufu.

⁶⁶what think ye?` and they answering said, `He is worthy of death.`

⁶⁷Zvino vakamupfira pachiso, vakamurova netsiva, vamwe vakamurova nembama,

⁶⁷Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

⁶⁸vachiti: Porofita kwatiri, iwe Kristu, ndiani wakurova?

⁶⁸saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?`

⁶⁹Petro wakange agere panze paruvanze; ndokuuya kwaari umwe murandakadzi achiti: Iwewo wakange una Jesu weGarirea.

⁶⁹And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!`

⁷⁰Asi iye wakaramba pamberi pevose achiti: Handizivi zvaunoreva.

⁷⁰And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.`

⁷¹Zvino wakati abuda pasuwo, umwe mukadzi akamuona, akati kune vaivapo: Uyuwo wakange ana Jesu weNazareta.

⁷¹And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;`

⁷²Akarambazve nemhiko, kuti: Handizivi munhu uyu.

⁷²and again did he deny with an oath — `I have not known the man.`

⁷³Shure kwechinguva chiduku kwakauya vakange vamirepo vachiti kuna Petro: Zvirokwazvo iwewo uri wavo; kunyange kutaura kwako kunokuratidza.

⁷³And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.`

⁷⁴Zvino wakatanga kutuka nekupika kuti: Handizivi munhu uyu. Pakarepo jongwe rikarira.

⁷⁴Then began he to anathematise, and to swear — `I have not known the man;` and immediately did a cock crow,

⁷⁵Petro ndokurangarira shoko raJesu raakati kwaari: Jongwe risati rarira, uchandiramba katatu. Ndokubuda panze akachema zvakaomarara.

⁷⁵and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him — `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;` and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.
